Who May File Army IG complaints?

Any Army military or civilian member may file an IG complaint. However, many Department of the Army civilian complaints (e.g., discrimination, sexual harassment, and conditions of employment) must be addressed by agencies other than the IG. Anyone, including civilians with no Army affiliation, may file Fraud, Waste, and Abuse disclosures. Depending on the circumstances, the IG may also accept complaints from dependents or relatives of active duty members and retirees and their dependents. However, it is always best for the actual "victim" or person who witnessed the alleged wrongdoing to file the complaint.

What type of complaints are appropriate?

Any Fraud, Waste, and Abuse and violations of law, Army instructions, or policy should be reported through the appropriate grievances channels. The subject of your complaint must be an Army program or person. Bear in mind, however, the fact that you may disagree with your supervisor(s) over management styles or have what you believe is a "personality conflict," does not constitute an injustice or mismanagement. If you are not sure your concern is a reportable matter, contact the IG for guidance or advice.

What types of complaints are NOT IG appropriate?

The following issues and allegations are ordinarily not appropriate for IG intervention:

-Criminal allegations

-Issues that have other means of redress (If the appropriate redress procedures were used, IGs will advise complainants that IG involvement focuses on ensuring that the complainant received due process and the protection of rights as intended by law and regulation)
